Power Steering - Honda 1992 Accord Coupe Owner's Manual

Power Steering

The power steering on your car helps provide easy handling while
parking and maneuvering in traffic, without loss of road " f e e l " at
highway speeds. An engine-driven hydraulic pump provides full
power assist at low speeds and decreasing assist as the car goes
faster.
CAUTION:
If the power steering system should fail, or if the engine should
stall, the car can still be steered. However, much greater effort
will be required, particularly in sharp turns at low speed.
NOTE:
You may feel a slight clunk or knock when turning the wheel with
the engine off. This is a normal condition due to the design of the
system.
Power Steering Fluid
Check the power steering fluid level
with the engine cold and the car
parked on level ground. Make sure
the fluid level is between the upper
and lower marks on the reservoir. If
the level has dropped close to or
below the lower mark, check for
leaks before adding fluid to the
upper mark. Do not overfill.
CAUTION:
Use only genuine Honda power steering fluid. The use of other
fluids such as A.T.F. or other manufacturer's power steering fluid
will damage the system.
